Sustainable, Reclaimed Accessories for Your Modern Life. Every item we create has a story - find the one that connects with yours.

We believe in changing the story of how products are made. Conscious production – not mass production. Sustainably handmade in the USA. We start with selecting beautiful vintage, reclaimed and sustainable materials that each have their own unique history and story to share. We pass along these stories by designing them into functional, modern accessories including clutches, crossbody purses, Dopp kits, totes, duffle bags & tech cases. Our accessories not only positively impact the planet and our economy, but improve the way you live (and we wouldn’t have it any other way).

Love our items? Be sure to check out our website http://fritzandfraulein.com to find out where you can find us offline, who's talking about us and what happens behind-the-scenes at Fritz & Fräulein!

Many more items to come, including weekender bags and new laptop sleeves. It's all about reclaimed materials paired with the highest quality, most buttery leathers to create functional, classic, sustainable goods. With that said, keep your eyes peeled on this page as our collection continues to roll out!

Fritz & Fräulein's Mission: We believe in changing the story of how products are made. Conscious production - not mass production. Sustainably handmade in the USA. We start with using beautiful vintage, reclaimed and sustainable materials that each have their own unique history and story to share. We take those materials and design them into high quality, functional goods - right here in New York. Our accessories not only positively impact the planet and our economy, but improve the way you live (and we wouldn't have it any other way).

Our Story: The company was founded in Brooklyn, New York by Stacy Hauger in 2012, born out of her love for all things vintage combined with her personal passion for sustainability and formal training in design. In Stacy's travels, she comes across gorgeous, inspiring vintage and sustainable fabrics, uniforms and various finds that have their own unique history that reminds you of a place, person or time. With every piece, she decides how best to give them new life so their story can evolve and continue with you. Because of the nature of the materials we work with, every piece we create is truly one-of-a-kind with precise attention to detail and quality.

A note from Stacy:
As a consumer, great quality, design, functionality and sustainability have always been priorities for me and are of the utmost importance when I create each of my pieces for you. As I continue to expand my line in the seasons and years to come, these values will always be at the core of my business.

Onto the name...a nod to my German heritage, and great grandfather, Fritz, who lived to be 103. His wisdom and approach to life continues to be a positive and inspiring force in my life as I build Fritz & Fräulein.

My ultimate goal is to pass along a bit of history through these pieces while enriching people’s lives with function and great design. I hope you enjoy these as much as I love discovering and (re)creating them.

Welcome! Fritz & Fräulein was born out of my love for all things vintage combined with my personal passion for sustainability and formal training in design. In my travels to flea markets around the globe, I come across gorgeous pieces that inspire me and where, oftentimes, their original use has become obsolete. I decide how I can breathe new life into them through functional redesign or simply allow them to be as they are and appreciated again in a new home. Because of the nature of the materials I work with, every piece I create is truly one-of-a-kind with an extreme attention to detail and quality.

Payment

Payment is to be made immediately at the time of purchase via PayPal, unless other arrangements have been made and agreed upon ahead of time.

If after 3 days payment is not received and no communication is received regarding your order and/or payment, we will cancel the sale to avoid Etsy fees. Thank you for your understanding and prompt payments!

Shipping

*PACKAGING: We ship in sturdy packaging (to keep in line with our green ethos, we try to use recycled packaging whenever possible). Our #1 priority is to ensure that your items arrive safely and in mint condition, with delivery confirmation included for domestic US orders.

*SHIPPING ADDRESSES: Don't forget to double check your listed mailing address. If your address in your Etsy OR your PayPal profile is incorrect, it is your responsibility to let us know ASAP and we will make sure that your order is shipped to your best and most recent address.

*INSURANCE: Insurance is included for all items and is required for all orders. Only items that are insured can be replaced. However, because many pieces are unique, limited or one-of-a-kind, exact replacement of items lost in the mail may not be possible but funds may be put towards another item. Insured items are eligible for refund due to non-delivery or damage by the USPS.

INFO FOR DOMESTIC / US CUSTOMERS:

1) Unless otherwise requested, we ship via USPS Priority, within 5-7 business days of sale, although usually much sooner.

2) We will send you an email with your Delivery Confirmation number when we've shipped your order. Delivery Confirmation is included for all US orders.

3) We are happy to do expedited shipping w/in the US via FedEx, UPS or USPS. Just contact us for pricing.

2) International orders are shipped via First Class International (USPS) which at this time, offers limited tracking, dependent on the destination country. We cannot be held responsible for packages that are lost once they leave the U.S. However if you would like an upgrade to Priority or Global International please feel free to inquire about the costs. We will only charge for the actual postage, but be aware that the USPS pricing for items starts at $13.50 USD.

3) Please note: International customers are responsible for any and/or all Customs fees, taxes, and duties associated with shipping & purchasing to their respective countries, should they be assessed. Most country's Customs agencies open and/or assess fees to a random selection of packages. Any customs fees, taxes, tariffs, duties, etc. that may be incurred at the time of delivery would be at the discretion of your country's tax regulations. We have no way of calculating how much these fees would be, should they occur, and we are not responsible for those charges.

Further to this, please be advised that international purchases will be shipped as "merchandise," and the buyer is responsible for any customs/duties upon arrival. Estimate your Import Duties here:http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/
Please do not make a purchase without understanding your VAT obligations. For any additional information please refer to your local customs agency.

Specific Policy for our Redesigned Lamps & Lighting:
Being that all our lamps are vintage or antique, prior to use, it is recommended that vintage and antique electric lamps and fixtures be examined by a qualified electrician to ensure they are safe for use. This includes both lighting with vintage original wiring and lighting that has been rewired. When purchasing from Fritz & Fräulein, the buyer is accepting this responsibility and liability of use.

It is strongly recommended that proper wattage bulbs be used at all times. If unsure, a qualified electrician can specify the maximum wattage that can be used for any specific electric item.
